Time to take in the trash!

Today's stories that have queer people talking

The surprise pick of Sarah Palin, the 20-month Governor of Alaska, for the Republican Vice-Presidential ticket got a few extra shockwaves yesterday as the staunch social conservative revealed that a self-described “fuckin’ redneck” got her 17-year-old daughter pregnant.

A former editor of the late, lamented fab magazine, Scott has been writing for Xtra since 2007 on a variety of topics in news pieces, interviews, blogs, reviews and humour pieces.
